The streaming giant estimated around 100 million households worldwide are watching its service for free by using the account of a friend or another family member

To encourage more people to pay for their own accounts, Netflix indicated it would expand a trial programme it has been running in Chile, Costa Rica and Peru, where subscribers can extend service to another household for a discounted price.The streaming giant is also considering creating a low-cost subscription service supported by advertising - a change it has long resisted.

Netflix said it was also facing fierce competition from other streaming giants like Amazon, Disney, and Apple. Analysts have warned any indication of a slowdown in the rate at which consumers are subscribing to services could spell trouble for the wider industry - and hit companies like Spotify and HelloFresh as the cost of living crisis bites and households scale back on expenses.

I watch my account in multiple sites, its not an accurate figure.

I started off paying £5.99 and now it's currently £9.99. They won't stop password sharing, not possible. iptv

Which isn't happening since that friend/family member is still paying for it so they can continue watching it so it is not being watched for free. netflix

Catch me if you can

At 222 million subscribers.. that's 2.5 billion if not more..and they want more.. if they try to charge me extra for sharing my password with my daughter.. I'm canceling immediately.. how many more of you will. I'd say a lot..

I would feel bad for them but having spent last week at home sick I'm honestly not sure there is anything on there worth subscribing for anymore. I think their days are numbered.

Netflix should leaves us, I mean leave people alone. HardTimes

If a household of 10 have a tv licence they covers them all🤔

Netflix hints at password sharing crackdown as subscribers fallNetflix hinted it will start to crack down on account sharing as it pushes to sign up new members. Sounds like a great idea. Now Netflix is jumping on the bandwagon with making more people out of pocket. Like that more work in a monetary crisis. Perhaps they should look at reducing their subsscriptions as there's a lot of content available Netflix will lose moe members if adopt that ridiculous policy. Competion is fierce out there and Netflix need to improve their product rather than upset existing customers. If they adopt said policy i and many others will subscribe with a competitor.

Netflix considers adverts after losing subscribers for the first time in ten yearsNetflix has lost subscribers for the first time in ten years, sending the company's share prices plummeting. Does this mean that re-sale prices of all those DVDs that were donated to charity shops will see a price rise, after all 'they' said they would never need them again. 🤔 Bigman_theo Considering unsubscribing too - the content is restricted and doesn’t provide choices, as it did previously. There are better options, more dynamic, fresher, more content, more flexibility, lower price. NetflixUK feels clunky nowadays, old.
